NP was featured in MassDevelopment's December newsletter for its Transformative Development Initiative (TDI). NP is working with the City of Springfield to implement a vision for a mixed-use district known as the Springfield Innovation District.

TDI is an effort targeted at Massachusetts' Gateway Cities. TDI works to build community engagement and identity; increase economic activity and investment; and improve the quality of life for residents. Springfield is one of twelve TDI districts under development in Massachusetts.
